MPP: Watch these lies about marijuana!

Dear friend:

“Saying that marijuana is harmless is like saying that a dog is a cat.”

“Scientific research does not indicate marijuana is medicine.”

“All major national medical associations have rejected it.”

Sound wrong to you? It is. Blatantly so. But these lies, and others like them, are being spread by the Drug Free America Foundation, in a cynical campaign to undermine the enormous progress that marijuana policy reform has made. As we rack up more and more victories, our opposition gets more and more willing to lie outright.

Watch MPP's new video fact-checking these lies — and send it to your friends:

And as always, we need the help of people like you to continue fighting lies with the truth. If what you see in this video angers you, would you fight back against it, by making a donation of $10 or more to MPP's work today?

Sincerely,
Kampia signature (e-mail sized)

Executive Director

Washington, D.C.

P.S. As I've mentioned in previous alerts, a major philanthropist has committed to match the first $3.0 million that MPP can raise from the rest of the planet in 2008. This means that your donation today will be doubled.

Penas: Medida reformadora de Pensilvania deviene ley

Las reformas condenatorias más grandes en años fueron sancionadas la semana pasada por Ed Rendell, gobernador de Pensilvania, pero el asesinato de un policía por un prisionero bajo condicional ahora bloquea todas las liberaciones bajo condicional.
